Great location on the water. Walking distance to the marina and some cafes. Functionally the apartment was spot on (3 bdrm, 2bthrm, kitchen, laundry) and mostly clean. Apartment is dated but met our needs.

Amazing views and a great beach and pools. Close walk to lots of dining options. Apartments are a little dated and more parking for higher vehicles in the property would be good.

Absolutely stunning sea view from our apartment. Very clean and tidy but very, very tired. Really needs to be repainted and bought up to date. No settee in the living room just individual wooden Ikea chairs. I loke to sit next to my partner not 3 foot away from him. Glass in the shower had glass cancer and a hole in the door thst had been filled in and the bottom of the bathroom door was falling apart. Apart from that, the apartment was situated in a great place, close to the marina complex. Was quiet and tidy.

The property has an excellent location near the beach and the docks where most of the whale watching tours begin. The property is oldrr but our flat wss well renovated and had great views but being next to the boats was occasionally a little noisy. The property management was helpful, but the main issue seems to be housekeeping. In a nineteen day stay we had two cleans. They also seemed to not refill certain things. As a sufferer of dust mite allergies, I found the flat too dirty.
